A 'pretty' change is round the corner!

I just watched the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere starrer 'Pretty Woman' again.. frankly, I have stopped counting how many times I have watched the movie. 

What I love about the movie is the message of positive change that can transform our lives. 

The circumstances we find ourselves in in our lives and the reactions we have to them, makes us start believing that we are those reactions. However, most of the times, it's just reflex action. The prolonged exposure to these circumstances just sharpen the reflexes and the tend to become our second nature; but we begin to mistake it as our basic nature. We tend to see us through these lenses and torment ourselves.

Until the moment, a positive change comes in our life and touches us at the most tender, vulnerable corners that we work all our lives to guard fearing pain. We feel that the armour we wear hides those tender points making us stronger. But, when the positive change comes in, it shatters the armour and no matter how hard we try, our emotions begin to flow - sometimes through our eyes as tears of joy or through our face as happy laughter. And it just goes on and on till we are completely healed of our pain. The scar may remain but the pain goes away....and we are reborn in a way to fulfil our true destinies. 

What a beautiful movie!

Humanity is lost!

We lost ourselves when our quest was overtaken by greed. First, we wanted to learn - the earth, the oceans, the skies and then we wanted to own them. We invented toys of mass pleasure and mass pain. We got religion and creed. And we got lost in all these. We stopped being the wanderers who wanted to cherish nature. Enjoy it's gifts.  We started challenging the almighty the creator. We lost. We are dying as a race. Dying with the burden of civilization that offers only stress and agony of loans. Sitting in one position we are destroying our body the greatest gift of nature. We don't deserve to be called the smartest of all species. We are the most idiotic of all. We are dumb. AI is taking over. We will be lost in machines soon. They are our future. We cease to be us soon. God bless us!

Oblivious to oblivion

We humans are getting more and more engrossed in things that don't matter and replacing it with things that do matter. We keep track of every new I phone model but we have lost track of the losing greenbelt and nature. We are killing everything that is keeping us alive. But we are happy to live now selling our tomorrow's.  It's a sad state of affairs. We are looking externally for things which are within us. And things which are external and unnecessary we are taking it internally - like peer pressure and loud lifestyles. Where is the sense? Where is the moral compass that controls our actions? Wake up humanity...before we are erased from this planet. We need the planet the planet doesn't need us. Let's not forget that, ever.

Nature calling!

There is a tiny little compass within us, our conscience, the keeps giving us signals. There are times when it keeps warning us of the dangers of the city life we are living. It gives us hint of being at home when we are in the middle of nature. We are all like tiny parts of the nature we are so foolishly moving away from. And that's why we feel so much at home when we go to these places. We are parts of them - the air, the water, the soil, the fire that makes us us. Not the iphones and fancy toys we are so attached to these days. Let's make it a point to live closer to nature. To breathe pure air. To drink water unadulterated by modernism. To think thoughts that are pure and in tandem with the cosmos. There is a monk within us. Why do we hide him? Why do we not listen to him? We must. Before it's too late!
